By Some Miracle, Here's Helen Mirren Starring in a Super Bowl Beer Commercial

In what is a genuinely well-acted beer commercial, Helen Mirren sits in a dark restaurant with a huge burger and Budweiser in front of her and warns against drunk driving. It's... brilliant.

Presenting herself as a "notoriously frank and uncensored British lady," Mirren explains, "If you drive drunk, you, simply put, are a short-sighted, utterly useless, oxygen-wasting human form of pollution, a Darwin Award-deserving, selfish coward. If your brain was donated to science, science would return it." The end literally makes you think Wow, I had no idea a beer commercial could be passionately acted? but there she is, saying "Your friends and family thank you, the friends and family of other drivers thank you, your future self thanks you."

We've always had a low-key crush on Helen Mirren, but this commercial brings it out of the low-key arena. First off, let's just all be honest: The cleavage is working. It just is. And compassionate honesty is also attractive. Helen Mirren is a sexy beer commercial woman. Wow.

Then she picks up the Bud and exlaims Nice and cold! but doesn't drink it because, come on, you really think Helen freaking Mirren is going to drink a Budweiser? She played the Queen. Twice. Come on.
